Re: LI -lilo booting problem

[Chuck Gelm <nc8q@gelm.net>]

Hi, Ray, Richard, & Ramzez:

 I use
/usr/src/linux/# make install
 and
# lilo
 (/sbin/lilo ?) to try to install a bootable system.

Thanks.  I found the mention of adding lba32
to lilo.conf, although README.common.problems
does NOT show the syntax of the line.  :-|

 However, I'll plug 'lba32' & 'lilo' into google
or whatever and see if I can find an example.

 I can install Slackware8.0, compile a new kernel,
and boot from floppies, either lilo or bzdisk,
yet I cannot boot from either of two hard drives.
:-|
Here is the partition structure of the last two
HDs that I've tried to boot. 

Device	Boot	Start	End	Blocks	Id	System
/dev/hda1 *	1	240    1927768	83	Linux system
/dev/hda2	241	256	128520	82	Linux swap
/dev/hda3	257	2491 179526378	83	Linux system

I tried this one in Primary master also:

Device	Boot	Start	End	Blocks	Id	System
/dev/hda1 *	1	128    1028128	83	Linux system
/dev/hda2	129	131	 24097	82	Linux swap
/dev/hda3	132    1048    7365802	83	Linux system

In all cases(2) system was:

(1)	/dev/hda1 mounted as /
	/dev/hda3 mounted as /usr

(2)	/dev/hda1 mounted as /
	/dev/hda3 mounted as /share

 So, / (/boot) was always within the first 1024 cylinders.
:-|

I'm off to find "lba32".

Thanks again, Chuck
